"Father Mesrob"
Is the church full now?
Did everyone make it on time?

Legs uncrossed,
And grown men living with their mothers,
Help carry baked goods from home to car,
From car to home.
Who would smile today?
Who would know this strong love?

Father Mesrob's passing was probably one of the most devastating news my husband Ray and I received. He was a Der Hayr we wanted to keep as long as we lived. It was impossible not to love him. Some of his advises have become our daily practices.
Our hearts go out to his family at this time and in the days ahead
